What do you guys think of the character design though? I'm trying to make it simple and attractive.

I like the little characters, but there is some things that could be improved.

I have no clue what this technique is called so I'll call it "cleaning up the pixels" it might take a bit more time but I bet it'll make the outcome better.
You basically just clean up the lines and make sure diagonal lines don't meet.

Depending on how you want the stylization of the game to come out, you could also make the outline of those little guys be a darker shade of the primary color; like in this pic:
I noticed the grey tones didn't look good unless I made them slightly red, too. I guess it just makes it more colorful; but it might depend on the style you're going for in the game, I personally think it looks better but it's up to you.

Yeah you basicaly work your way up, but the first thing you do is have a base color and then block the shapes out with the darkest shade and maybe some highlights, though that applies to painting so I'm not sure how it'd work in MSPaint

Yeah. I noticed the chest area was a bit bothersome The denser lines at the beak and other areas were intentional.

I really like contrast though. I think the reddish-gray tones sort of detracts from how much the sprites pop out at you. But I'll definitely give it a go later.

Looks nice, especially the hand, but some things are a bit out of proportion, like the ears. I'm not an expert at anatomy, but I think the neck might be a bit too thick too. The hat should be wider, and maybe you could give him cuffs. Overall it's not bad, but a few more details in the background could help set the mood.

This sounds like a good way to paint

The evolution of the robot continues, heavier armor has been added to give its wearer a much better protection. The Mark III also includes higher mobility, something that the previous models lacked, and a much larger visor has been added so that the wearer will be more aware of his surroundings.

The Mark III has also an integrated powersource that not only is more efficent, but is much more protected from enemy fire since it is now part of the armor.

I didn't feel like resurrecting the Weapons dump thread while resurrecting myself as well. I thought of this idea when wondering what kind of superweapons the US special forces would take with them into the Zone if they became s.t.a.l.k.e.r.s.
Oh, and it is caseless. The ejection port on the side is just for fixing misfires.

What do you guys think so far? I have four different tiles, shown in the image above, a static background, a sun, and a cloud. There will be pine trees or your average looking trees in the background once I finish it. I'm just not sure about how I'll draw them. I tried to stylize the rest of the objects so it wouldn't look like I copied and pasted them from a bunch of other games.

dead is my grandpa,you guys only need to wake up that thread,so Im starting drawing a few guns too...

In the meantime,I wanted to draw soething simple in a minute,but then I took 10 and draw this
(I love centerline looks) Then I ask 5 buddys and only 2 of them saw the same thing,2 saw diffrent and the fift saw more than just one thing. Then I roatate that picture 90° and they started to see something else again.

I was never any good at drawing robots, and it might depend on the style you're going for; but I always thought that robotic things look best when you use the line and curve tools to give it a more smooth look, since they're supposed to be machines and machines use straight lines and such.

I think overall it looks pretty good, and I like the concept and coloring of the character. But the inconsistency of smoothing on the legs, feet, head etc throw me off a bit. Same with how the eye isn't an oval/circle.

But here's a Jatimatic. It's incredibly hard to draw because of all the different awkward angles the parts are in. In fact this is a major FAIL because the barrel is in the wrong angle. The line between the back and front sights should be the same as the line of the barrel.

I'm trying my best, and adding on to that. The drawing was actually an attempt at trying to better myself on terms of anatomy. It may not be amazing, but as much as I try, each time will give me a little bit of experience gradually.

Oh hey it's you!
It was a new style for you I completely didn't see it was you!
This is very good that you're changing your style so drastically and moving onto realisem!
I now make my comment: Excellent, keep on the good work!
